Are You Ready For A Medical Emergency ?

We spend a lot of time trying to stay healthy. We exercise, eat right, and get check-ups and screenings. But how many of us take the time to prepare for a medical emergency, with the right information and equipment handy.

We never think something bad is going to happen to us,but when we least expect it, it does. Having a complete first-aid kit means that when it does happen — when you’re stressed and in a panic — you’ll find everything you need in one location.

First-aid kits are your first line of treatment and care following a home injury. That includes:

Cuts and scrapes.
Minor burns, including sunburn.
Minor sprains and strains.
Bug bites.
Minor allergic reactions, including poison ivy rash.

DID YOU KNOW ?
A stroke is the sudden death of brain cells in a localized area due to inadequate blood flow.A stroke can occur when blood flow to the brain is blocked or there is sudden bleeding in the brain. There are two types of strokes. A stroke that occurs because blood flow to the brain is blocked is called an ischemic stroke. The brain cannot get oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die within minutes. A stroke that occurs because of sudden bleeding in the brain is called a hemorrhagic stroke. The leaked blood results in pressure on brain cells, damaging them.

Just under 90% of strokes involve blocked blood vessels (ischemic), and the rest involve internal bleeding (hemorrhagic). Strokes are further classified based on where in the brain the blockage or bleeding occurs.

A stroke is a medical emergency. A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death. Signs of a stroke can range from mild weakness to paralysis or numbness on one side of the face or body. Other signs may include a sudden and severe headache, sudden weakness, trouble seeing, and trouble speaking or understanding speech.

The FAST acronym is an easy way to recognize urgent of a stroke:

FACE: One-sided facial drooping, or a crooked smile.
Arm Weakness: Difficulty holding up an arm.
Speech: Strange-sounding or slurred speech.
Time: Call 912 right away because "time is brain.

However, people sometimes dismiss potential stroke symptom. If patients have an episode of weakness or numbness in a hand or arm that lasts a couple of hours, they may tend to brush it off or ignore a second episode a few weeks later. Take these symptoms serious, particularly if you have predisposing stroke risk factors including older age, diabetes, high blood pressure, pregnancy, oral contraceptive use and smoking. If you have an episode of numbness or difficulty with function that lasts more than a few seconds, certainly that's something that needs to be reviewed with a provider, whether that be your primary care physician and then, in a lot of cases, the emergency department.
